    Carstairs stood, his intention clear as he headed for Beckham’s office door. “Should we find it’s not as simple as you pronounce, there will be consequences. If you’re not familiar with them, it will behoove you to become enlightened.” His hand on the door knob, he turned, his eyes signaling the message he meant to deliver. “This better work, Marcus…”

    If you're familiar with Grizzly Adams, you've likely seen our past 1970s movies and TV series produced by Sunn Classic Pictures, Inc. The real Grizzly Adams was a rugged frontier woodsman, hunter, animal trainer, and entertainer with a deep connection to the American West's wildlife. Born in Massachusetts in 1812, John "Grizzly" Adams left his wife and daughters in 1849 to make a living. During his travels, he obtained a cub bear he named Ben Franklin, after its mother died. Over time, Ben and Grizzly became like family, sharing many adventures, including performing with the P.T. Barnum Circus. Although Grizzly trained wild animals, many of his injuries came from the dangerous animals he worked with. He became famous but tragically passed away in 1860 after returning home for a final visit to his family. 
    Our new Grizzly Adams story takes place in the present day, featuring his great-great-great-grandson, a big man like his ancestor. After being discharged from the military, he encounters a terrible car accident involving a grizzly bear. He rescues a young boy, Tony, and a baby grizzly bear whose mother had died trying to protect her cub. After helping Tony and the cub, Grizzly takes them to town, where Tony and the cub are adopted. The cub is named Ben, and a new adventure begins for Grizzly, Tony, and Ben.
